The AP reports:
Somali pirates holding a hijacked ship off the coast of Somalia fired at a U.S. Navy helicopter as it made a surveillance flight over the vessel, the first such attack by pirates on an American military aircraft, the Navy said Thursday.
The helicopter, which is based on the USS Chancellorsville, was not hit and there were no injuries, the Navy said.
Why on earth aren’t these cretins facing the business end of a JDAM? It ought to be a fundamental principle in our national policy that you cannot fire on the US Navy and live.
